Differences in beginner and expert neurointerventionalists" heart rate variability during simulated neuroangiographies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Likewise work experience, heart rate variability (HRV) has repeatedly been correlated with improved performance under real life and simulator conditions. Using HRV as a correlate of workload, it is meaningful to assess the impact of work experience. To understand the impact of work experience on HRV metrics, we examined differences in HRV among experts and beginners during simulated endovascular neuroradiological procedures.

Methods

Six inexperienced radiologists (beginners) and five experts in neurological endovascular intervention each performed 10 diagnostic angiographies on a Vascular Interventional System Trainer (VIST) simulator (Mentice AB, SW). Beyond total time, fluoroscopy time, and amount of contrast medium used, heart rate variability and the NASA-task
